Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner – chapter 4

The last time I saw Ike Clanton was after the gunfight at the OK corral. He was studded with cactus thorns and headed to jail. I figured he’d be hanged by now. Did he escape? And what is he doing here? Instead of shooting Ike on the spot, or maybe running out and stabbing him, … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner – chapter 4

Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner – chapter 3

The Yaquis didn’t make much effort to hide their trail. Probably they figured there was no chance I was getting loose and coming after them. They’re going to regret that little bit of carelessness. I find myself wondering something. Why go to the all trouble of staking someone to an anthill, and then not stay … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner – chapter 3

Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner – chapter 2

Flame leaps from the end of the Winchester and the rifle bucks in the old man’s hands. Something hot and painful stripes across my wrist. I holler and jerk my hand back. Hold it up and count the fingers. Look for blood. It’s my lucky day. Only a little blood and I still have all … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule Skinner – chapter 2

Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule-Skinner – chapter 1

As soon as the sun comes up, I’m going to be in real trouble. Why? Because I’m lying on top of a giant anthill. Once the sun comes up, the ants are going to wake up, head outside and do whatever it is ants do all day. At that point, they’re going to find me … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the One-Eyed Mule-Skinner – chapter 1

It’s true. Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec is in the running for publication on Kindle Scout. What does this mean?

Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 82

  The doors crack, but they hold. The explosion dies away. For a moment there’s nothing and we stand there, listening. Block lights a candle and we look at each other. I realize that we’re all listening for the same thing. Is that thing in there—that god?—dead? Did the dynamite kill it and those mummies? … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 82

Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 81

“Don’t move, or I’ll kill you where you stand.” I turn slowly, edging away from Victoria so I have a clean grab at my guns. From the corner of my eye I’m aware of Block doing the same thing. I wonder how fast he can draw. “Go ahead,” General de la Cruz says. “Give me … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 81

Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 80

“Where did you get that?” Victoria asks, looking at the obsidian dagger in my hand. She frowns. “Are you feeling okay?” I open my mouth and the words that come out don’t make any sense to me at all. She takes a step back, her eyes widening. “What did you just say?” My mouth opens … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 80[image error]

Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 79

The walls are getting closer. In about a minute we’re going to be mashed into paste. “Think you might have pushed the wrong ones,” Block says. “I told you I didn’t want to do it!” I yell. “There’s no need to yell,” Victoria says. “We need to stay calm and use our heads.” “Well, I … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 79

Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 78

It’s a long jump. I land wrong and feel pain in my ankle. I also nearly tumble headfirst down the stairs. On the plus side, I didn’t plunge to my death. That means I’m having a good day. Block tosses me my rifle, then his shotgun. He looks at Victoria. “I should go last. I’m … Continue reading Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec – Chapter 78
